Join the FindSpark team, our ambitious community, speakers from past events, and our stellar employers for a night of inspiration, connecting, and celebrating as we look back on five years of connecting you to the coolest pros in NYC and beyond.

We’re kicking off the party in style with fun, interactive activities. From an accomplishment wall (to be filled out by YOU), to a post card station (write a thank you note to someone who’s supported your career, and we’ll send it!), this event will challenge you to think of new ways that you can build connections and pursue the career of your dreams.

Fun Involved Includes:

  • Photo booth and selfie station
  • Accomplishment Wall
  • Post Card Station
  • Glitter Tattoo Station
  • Wine, beer, & light bites
  • Inspiring talks from top pros representing NBC, Building Beats, General Catalyst Partners, Livestream, & more
